smbfs is a filesystem which understands the SMB protocol. This is the
protocol Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or Lan Manager use to talk
to each other. smbfs was inspired by samba, the program written by
Andrew Tridgell that turns any unix host into a file server for DOS or
Windows clients. See ftp://nimbus.anu.edu.au/pub/tridge/samba/ for
this interesting program suite and lots of more information on SMB and
NetBIOS over TCP/IP. There you also find explanation for concepts like
netbios name or share.
To use smbfs, you need a special mount program, which can be found in
the ksmbfs package, found on
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Filesystems/smbfs.
I use smbfs to 'mount' Win95 shares on my system. I use samba to
'access' the same shares.

Just about every computer on the market today runs Unix, except the Mac
(and nobody cares about it).
